Today in English class we have to look at our fellow classmate's blogs and find one worth actually commenting on. So this is the quote from someone's blog who I have never actually talked to or shared anything even close to communication.
"Thanksgiving and I will most likely never agree. It's not that I'm ungrateful or so self-absorbed I think I deserve all the fortunes I've received without a sliver of gratitude in exchange. I say "thank you" for pretty much everything, even when a teacher hands me a test. Anyway, it's just, most people have forgotten the true essence of the holiday, since it
now revolves around turkey and pies and hours of food preparation."
I sort of agree with this in that a lot of time is now spent on the food preparation instead of what Thanksgiving was supposed to be all about. Too many concentrate on how well they cook and all the hours of stress and so on that build up. People freak out bout having to get together with a the relatives that they don't want to see instead of simply enjoying what we all have and giving the thanks that is too often forgotten. Overall I say that I agree, Thanksgiving has lost it's main purpose. A sad and unfortunate thing.
